When we brush our teeth, we’re like superheroes fighting against the sneaky germs. But did you know there’s a hidden spot where these germs love to hide? It’s our tongue!
Why Should We Clean Our Tongue?
1. Germs, Be Gone!: Our tongue can be a cozy home for germs if we don’t clean it. Let’s make sure those germs don’t stay for a party!
2. Say Bye to Bad Breath: Nobody likes dragon breath! Cleaning our tongue helps keep our breath fresh and friendly.
3. Taste Superpowers: Want to taste your favorite ice cream or pizza even better? A clean tongue is the secret!
4. Keep Your Mouth Happy and Healthy: A clean tongue means a happy mouth and fewer trips to the dentist.
How to Be a Tongue Cleaning Hero
1. After Brushing Your Super Teeth: Add tongue cleaning to your toothbrushing adventure.
2. Gentle Super-Sweep: Use your scraper or toothbrush to softly clean your tongue. Start at the back and swoosh forward.
3. Rinse for the Win!: Swish some water in your mouth and spit out those vanquished germs.
